Okada removing those ridiculous-ass pants was the pop of the night. shyt, Okada, in general, came off as the biggest star on the entire show. Give my boy the title back already. :mjcry:

As for the card as a whole, it was weaker than last years and had less hype but the last three matches delivered. I'm sick of Naito-fans, but they kind of have a point. Dude is way above a Jericho feud at this point. They need to let him drop it, win NJC, and kill Tana. I like Jay White, but man, it felt like Rock going against Billy Gunn for a bit. Okada was carrying him through that whole match. It sucks that it ended early because it would've easily been the best match of the night.
Tana/Omega was fantastic. Omega/Okada was a better series, but I think this was just as good as Okada/Tana matches. I liked the story they told with Kenny finally turning back into a dikkhead heel. He's better as "The Cleaner" than anything else. I understand he had to mature so that the fans could take him seriously, but I was glad he showed how good he could be when he heels it up. I'm kind of sad that he lost though, I would've loved to see his reign now that he's away from the Bucks and Cody-- as they were the main reason that it looked so weak.

Overall good show, not as good as the past 2, but good nonetheless.

Okada vs White was cool. I just dont like the character switch blade. Hes a good wrestler... something just isn't clicking.

Jericho vs Naito was fukking awesome. 48 year old Chris Jericho might've had the best match at wrestlekingdom in back to back years :sas1:

Bout to start up omega vs Takahashi.

yea I dont get the Jay white push, he is madd generic looking and isnt amazing in the ring like everyone else there.. I dont think he is the one.
show was cool, I think Omega wants time to focus on his own promotion or whatever but I dont think their "cena" should have the title, they need a new japanese star at the top, I hope this is transitional to set up his retirement angle

Good show although putting Ibushi/Ospreay first meant all other matches started off playing catch-up.

I am fully on the 'whatever' wave regarding Jay White. Dude added absolutely nothing the match, he might be the most literal CAW in modern wrestling history and Okada carried the match on his back. Also not sure why they would have Okada go back to his old look but still have him lose. Save that shyt for his actual kayfabe comeback.

Halfway through

JR tag match :russell:

I like Zack and Ishii march despite the lack of time. It was a sprint of wrestling and counters.

Heavy tag was nothing expect Sanada spazzing out on offense. :wow:

GOD change their entrance music :camby:

Evil rocking cornrows :dahell:

Juice and Cody :russell: Just like every Cody match.
